We both lived in North Vancouver..I was playing rock on radio and TV..he was determined to make music that myself and many others would play. I had the pleasure of watching the musical life of Bryan Adams unfold right in front of me.
As I tell Bryan in our conversation..I’d never seen anyone so committed to the road ahead. Driven and entirely focused on writing rock hits and singing them every night of the year.
What Bryan needed was someone in the business who believed in him. Turns out the guy was manager Bruce Allen and they’ve had a 40-year relationship, based on a simple handshake.
Many years and millions of records and awards later Bryan returns to where it all began…Western Canada.
He has lots to talk about including co-writing 23 songs with Jim Valance for a Broadway production of the hit film Pretty Woman that opens mid-August.
Then more touring the world and finally a new album in the late Fall.
He’s a Dad to two beautiful daughters..his wonderful Mother is still very much part of his life and he sees no end in sight to an amazing career.
He’s approaching 60 years of age. carries himself like he’s half that age.
Every show he does is two hours long..and everyone goes home happy and filled with memories..old and new.
And THAT’s why I’m delighted to sit down with him and re-connect.
Rock on Bry
Enjoy!!
